Why Use Advanced Analyzer and Optimizer?

3DCS Advanced Analyzer and Optimizer Add-on Module

You want to know which part in the assembly is causing the most variation

You have non-linear relationships in your model

You want to optimize your tolerances quickly

You want to know which measurements should be measured in production

You want to check your locators or test different locating strategies

You want to do What If studies on different tolerances across the model

Use matrices to view all of your information in a single table. Edit and test new configurations. Validate your locating strategies and determine optimal placement, all with one add-on module.

Advanced Analyzer Matrix

View Features From Across the Entire Model

The Advanced Analyzer Matrix gives you the ability to see all of your measurements or tolerances in a single matrix. You have the ability to change parameters and inputs, as well as change tolerances in the matrix to instantly see the resulting changes.

Benefits:

Global View of Model

Customize for Outputs and Color Coding for Specific Criteria

Make Changes and See Instant Results

Quality Optimizer

Reduce Costs By Increasing Non-Critical Tolerances

The Optimizers determine which tolerances are critical, and which are non-critical, and then increase non-critical tolerances to reduce manufacturing costs. This is a great method of taking general tolerances across an entire model, and optimizing them to have tighter tolerances on key features while opening (increasing) tolerances are non-critical areas, all with the push of a button. Not sure you want to keep the new tolerances? AAO only updates your model when you select the Push to Model button and update your model.

Benefits:

Reduce manufacturing costs

Alter tolerances across the model reflecting critical features

Change the tolerances in your model only when you want to

Critical Tolerance Identifier

Identify Tolerances Critical to Fit and Function

Use Monte Carlo simulation calculations to weigh the measures in the model to determine the percent contribution to the overall model. This determines your most critical measurements and tolerances, basically your largest contributors to variation across the entire model, instead of in relation to a specific measurement.

Benefits:

Find greatest contributors to overall model variation

Use different statistics, Pp, Ppk, Cp, to determine the criteria

Take advantage of previous calculations; no need to run new simulations

Locator Sensitivity Analyzer

Test and validate your locators. Create different locating patterns and simulate to find the pattern that results in the least variation. Use color mapping to make quick determinations about the optimal locator locations.
